Paddle Festival

The paddle festival is our most unique and favorite event! The best thing about Paddle Festival is our “river people” guests who look forward to great spring time water levels and coming together each season. Paddle up to 37 miles in 3 days. Enjoy live music, great food, campfires with friends and a car show. Come get your paddle on!

Bonus Trip

But wait we have also added a bonus trip for Monday, June 3rd.  This trip will take you from Blue River Chapel to the Ohio River take out. The cost for this added trip is only $30/haul or  $55/rental for our Paddle Fest guest and includes a free extra night stay in the campground.  Guests that would like to do this once a year trip, that did not join us for Paddle Fest,  may book your trip for $75 per person.  RESERVATION ONLY!  Reservations must be made by 12:00 PM Sunday, May 26, 2024.
